privacy policy
Indra's Net, Inc. is staunchly committed to protecting the privacy
of our customers, our Web visitors, and the entire Internet community.
The purpose of this document is to educate our customers and Web visitors
about the kinds of information we may collect from them, and how that
information is stored and used. We do not sell, share, rent, or
otherwise divulge any such information to third parties except as
disclosed below.
Web Site Visitors
Visitors to www.indra.com are logged by their domain name and time
of visit for the purpose of generating usage statistics reports.
Indra's Net uses these logs internally to generate reports to
analyze traffic trends, troubleshoot site anomalies, and improve
content. These reports do not include nor attempt to include any
personally-identifiable information and are stored in a
Web-inaccessible location for a limited period of time. Indra's Net
does not employ cookies on its Web site.
In some instances on the site, visitors may have the opportunity to
voluntarily fill in an online form in order to request information
or submit a query. This information is used to contact
the submitter regarding the subject and in the manner specified
and is protected under all sections of this policy.
Indra's Net Customers
Indra's Net provides Internet access, Web development and hosting, and
related services. For those to whom we provide these services,
collection of additional information is necessary to facilitate
service installation and maintenance, communication, and billing.
This information is generally limited to name, address, phone number,
account name (email address), and billing information (such as credit
card number).
Associated with each customer account name, Indra's Net also stores
additional data such as online usage, payment history, service requests,
and other information which is necessary to provide reliable service
and accurate billing. This information is stored on a firewalled
system in a secured physical location behind a series of locked doors
with a 24-hour monitored security alarm system. Indra's Net customers
have the ability to review their contact, billing, and usage information
via our secure Web server, which adheres to industry-standard secure
Web encryption protocols. This secure server is accessible only if
connecting from the indra.com domain, and will require customers to
supply their username and password. Any customer may also choose an
alternative method of reviewing and/or changing this information
by contacting us in another way, such as via telephone. Customers who
pay recurring monthly charges with a credit card also receive a
monthly notification of charges sent to them via email; however the
credit card number is not included in the message, with the exception
of the last four digits for identification purposes.
Information Privacy
Indra's Net does not (and has never) provided any third parties with
our customer list for any commercial or other uses. Additionally, we take
increasingly strident precautions to prevent outside parties from
sureptitiously sending unwanted advertising (spam) to our customers'
email addresses.
In our good-faith attempt to collect a debt owed to us for services
rendered, Indra's Net may, in its discretion, submit an overdue account
(including contact information) to its authorized collection agency
for the sole purpose of collecting any outstanding balance.
Finally, while Indra's Net is firmly committed to online privacy and
rights of the Internet community, we also recognize our responsibility
to their health and well-being. To that end, Indra's Net will assist
authorized law enforcement agencies in criminal investigations as
allowed under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 and
the USA Patriot Act. In the case of civil suits, Indra's Net will
review any subpoenas to ensure to the best of our ability that they
are legal, valid requests for information. If so, we will attempt
to notify the person or organization the information is
being requested on before responding to the subpoena.
All Indra's Net employees have read and have received training
regarding adherence to this policy, as well as other internal
procedural documentation regarding the protection of information.
If you have any questions or comments regarding our privacy policy,
please feel free to
contact us.
